India Lucky Not To Lose More Than Four Rafales

Any idea which others were destroyed except BS001?
India has no way to hide 001 so they showed it as "written off". I wonder how they will mange other 3 which were lost?

An Indian local 'claimed' that the jet crashed in Akalia Kalan had its pilot killed (video, at 0:26). In the meantime, this 'The Economist' article claimed that two pilots had ejected earlier in Akalia Kalan and were found injured in the nearby fields.

So my sincere guess is that at least one was RB0xx (twin-seater variant) and the other one was, of course, the legendary BS001 shot down near the Bhisiana Air Force Station or Bathinda as a whole.

1 RB0xx (two pilots successfully ejected, found close to each other)
1 BS001 (pilot apparently killed as per the local guy)

Again, it is just a speculation so who knows

Edit: The other Rafale(s) were shot down over Kishtwar National Park, IoK? That park has some massive peaks so the wreckage of other Rafale was most likely found on the peaks of Kishtwar National Park, this could primarily the reason why there aren't any OSINT images of the other Rafales, not even of the wreckage apparently.

Tweet from 2021. Tall claims infront of BS-001. 😅

Here is the real funny part - look at these geniuses who thought this photo was recent and IAF debunked PAF's claim of BS001. 😂😂

And you still think you can battle this mentality? Majority indian posters here are no better than this.

Should i reveal a fun fact regarding Bhatinda? 😉

It's true that 02 Rafales were targeted over Bhatinda. First one was successful in dodging the PL-15 through some impressive 11th hour manuevers. The other was not so forunate. PL-15 chased its ass to death.

Was one of them shot down as soon as getting airborne?

The rumour is that there may have been 8 PL-15 launches against IAF aircraft
